Dhanbad, July 2: The National Medical Commission (NMC) in a major step has cancelled the deputation of 129 postgraduate (PG) passed-out senior residents/ tutors in Sadar hospitals and directed to deploy them at medical colleges.
In this regard, the NMC has directed the Jharkhand government to ensure their posting in medical colleges and hospitals within a week. The NMC has cancelled the deputation of senior residents/ tutors at Sadar hospitals in the wake of the shortage of doctors in the medical college hospitals.
Three-year bound service
The NMC has also made it clear that their deputation period service at Sadar Hospital would be considered under a three-year bound service.
Following the directive of NMC, the special secretary of the Jharkhand government Alok Trivedi today issued a notification and deployed senior residents/ tutors at their respective medical college hospitals.

Anatomy and physiology tutors were also deployed in Sadar hospitals
Interestingly, the tutors of the anatomy and physiology departments (PG passed out) were put on deputation in Sadar hospital by the state government where according to medical college senior faculty members, there is no role for them there ( at Sadar hospital).
They were deployed in the hospitals of Medinirai Medical College Hospital (MMCH) Palamu, Sheikh Bhikhari Medical College Hospital, Shahid Nirmal Mahto Medical College Hospital (SNMMCH) Dhanbad and Phulo Jhano Medical College Hospital (PJMCH) Dumka and Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Medical College Hospital (MGMMCH) Jamshedpur.
The PG passed-out senior residents/ tutors had in the initial stage opposed the irrational move of the government but due to service-bound conditions reluctantly acquiesced to the order.
